Chapter 46 Lure astray

Half an hour later - not more than a minute, not less than a minute, and someone knocked on the door.

Weiss glanced at Nicholas. She was normal just now, but now her face turned red.

When the person outside the door knocked on the door for the second time, Weiss said, "Please come in!"

Lieutenant Notts, who was assigned by Alves to ensure the "absolute safety" of the two, walked in slowly and looked around without hesitation. At this time, Major Foral stood at the door and looked at Weiss with a smile.

"You have a good rest, and we will discuss technical issues in depth tomorrow. Don't worry, I'll sleep next door!" After saying this to Nicholas, Weiss stood up and said to Lieutenant Noets, who was glancing around, "Miss Lebold is very tired today, let her rest early!"

Lieutenant Notts set his eyes on Nicholas' red face and said meaningfully: "Don't worry about anything, Miss Leibold, I have placed soldiers around this house, safely protected around the clock, and will never let anyone with bad intentions harass you."

Although he knew that the other party was making a warning obscurely, Nicholas had to respond politely, "Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Lieutenant!"

Lieutenant Notts bowed politely, "I'm happy to serve a lady like you!"

After leaving the room, Weiss said to Lieutenant Noets: "Can I go and pack my new residence now?"

Lieutenant Noots raised his head and said, "Of course! There were 10 people in that room. I discussed it with the Major. From the perspective of comfort, safety and benefiting your work, we let the workers move to other rooms. In addition to you, the Major and I sent two soldiers to live with you. We will remind them to let them not disturb your work as much as possible."

Weiss said angrily: "Okay, I have no objection."

Lieutenant Notts stretched out his hand and signaled that he could leave.

Weiss went straight to the next room, at the Klumber-Haisen factory. This room has two large shops, each of which can sleep five or six people. It is a place specially arranged for laborers. Although it is simple, it can at least meet the needs of shelter from wind and rain and sleeping and resting. The men who were previously housed here were men from two large families who originally worked in the Klumber-Haisen factory. After the arrival of the Norman army, they followed the resistance organization to travel between secret camps everywhere, producing a large amount of weapons and ammunition for the resistance armed forces. The resistance armed forces killed hundreds of Norman soldiers, and they also had great contributions to it. Perhaps it was because of the long-term hardship that trained them, and the room was organized by them. Except for the slight damp smell, there was basically no other odor - much better than the barracks stationed in the barracks filled with sweat and feet.

Both the captured people, Weiss and Nicholas had no carry-on luggage. Before the Norman soldiers who lived with him arrived, Weiss picked the bed next to Nicholas' room. If it weren't for the Norman soldiers' close monitoring, he could have found a way to dig a hidden hole in the wall to facilitate secret communication with Nicholas at any time.

Weiss quickly set up his own bed. After a while, four Norman soldiers assigned to walk into the room with their respective field suits. They placed their weapons in the corner next to the bed, nailed nails on the wall, hung the combat gear, lunch boxes and kettles on it. Once these things were arranged, the room immediately felt like a barracks.

Major Foral walked to Weiss' bed and reminded him without any haste: "At any time, in any situation, please do not touch the soldiers' things, otherwise... I cannot guarantee your safety, and Mr. Governor must not want such a thing to happen!"

Although Weiss was a little coveted about the weapons and equipment of Norman soldiers, Lieutenant Notts and the soldiers he brought were not easy to mess with. In addition, there were more than a hundred Norman soldiers stationed in the factory. Not to mention that Weiss was alone, even if the workers were mobilized, the hope for success was extremely slim. With rational thinking, Weiss responded calmly: "I understand, thank you, Major!"

Major Foral turned around and suggested to Lieutenant Noz in Norman language: "Go to my office for a while? I have a bottle of good chestnut wine, drink two glasses, and sleep very comfortably!"

Lieutenant Notts glanced at Weiss, then looked at the Norman soldiers who were sent to take care of the two special characters, and turned around without saying a word to walk out the door.

Washing, turning off the lights, lying on the strange bed, Weiss couldn't fall asleep for a long time. What happened today, especially Nicholas's arrival, made him feel like he had a dream, but when he thought of her being on the other side of the wall, he felt very at ease and warm, and he had a different expectation for tomorrow's morning...

Weiss woke up from his sleep amid the sound of the Normans' bugle. He subconsciously climbed up and saw the Norman soldiers wearing coats, buttons and boots opposite him, and he felt very uncomfortable. The four Norman soldiers obviously did not relax their vigilance towards Weiss because they were in the same room for the same night. Whether they were dressing or washing, at least one of them was staring at him.

At least for now, Weiss had no other idea. He quickly put on his clothes and came to Nicholas' door under the surveillance of the Norman soldiers. Although he heard some movement inside, he did not knock or call, but waited silently at the door. After waiting for about ten minutes, the door opened from the inside and then he coughed.

Seeing Weis standing at the door, Nicholas was a little surprised and then showed a long-lost smile.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Nicholas nodded and said, "I couldn't sleep at first, but then I fell asleep. I slept well. I haven't felt this way for a long time."

Weiss grinned, “So too.”

After the two of them had just said a few words, Lieutenant Notts appeared, and the guy said in a rough voice: "Oh, I've gotten up early this morning to work? Very good! This is very good!"

Working for the Normans is always a very resistant thing for Nicholas. Although Weiss had explained her thoughts to her yesterday, Lieutenant Notts's face suddenly turned gray as soon as she spoke.

“You seem to be ready to participate in our work throughout the process?”

Lieutenant Notts asked, "Do you mind?"

Weiss said angrily: "Unless you are an expert in this field, it will not only not help, but will also affect our work."

"The Major and I will take turns staying in your office. We try not to speak, walk around, and disturb your work... Sorry, this matter is not to be discussed!" Lieutenant Norts kept his hands behind his back, and his eyes kept wandering between Weiss and Nicholas, as if observing their expressions and comprehension of their inner activities.

"Office?" Weiss laughed, "Mr. Lieutenant, do you think the best weapon design was done in the office? This naive idea is completely contrary to the impression you gave me!"

After being sarcastically mocked by Weiss, Lieutenant Notts's face suddenly couldn't hold back.

Weiss' intention to say this was certainly not to make the other party lose face. Before Lieutenant Notts got angry, he quickly explained: "To improve a piece of equipment, the premise is to fully understand the performance of the equipment, master its improvement potential, formulate improvement plans based on current technical conditions, conduct technical tests, and then put them into full production. Do you understand what I mean? Lieutenant Notts."

Officer Norman just snorted coldly and didn't talk.

Seeing Major Foral coming from outside, Weiss deliberately raised the volume: "The first step in developing a design plan is to let us know in detail about the specific data of your aircraft construction and the main components... If possible, get one to the factory for us to study it carefully."

Major Foral indeed replied: "Airplane? Will there be an airport on the other side of the castle soon? However, it is not easy to get the factory!"

Although his military rank was lower than that of the other party, Lieutenant Noz glared at Major Falal impolitely and signaled him not to speak nonsense.

Major Foral was a little embarrassed, and shrugged: "It's no secret here."

Lieutenant Notts refocused Weiss on his face and said extremely serious: "Unless you give me a reasonable design plan, I will never let you get in touch with such important secrets!"

Weiss turned to look at Nicholas. What he said just now obviously gave her a enlightened inspiration - helping the Normans improve equipment, which means that they can fully understand the performance of enemy equipment, thereby improving the performance of their own equipment in a targeted manner - as long as they try to convey this information, it is of great significance!

Seeing that Nichola's eyes were swept away, Weiss understood it and told Lieutenant Notts and Major Folal: "We already have a relatively mature design on this point, which is to install fairings on the aircraft engines - to reduce the resistance of the aircraft and effectively increase the speed of the aircraft without changing the engine performance. In addition, we can also install appropriate protective steel plates for pilots when the aircraft load allows, reduce the probability of being killed and injured by bullets in air combat, and indirectly increase the survival rate of the aircraft in combat. Of course, these two improvement methods may be chosen by one or both, and other improved designs with limited effects may also be used on your aircraft... The key is to look at the design structure and technical performance of the existing aircraft to determine their improvement potential."

Weiss's words made Lieutenant Notts stunned. Major Foral was naturally more professional in equipment technology. He lowered his head and thought for a while, giving Lieutenant Notts a positive look.

Lieutenant Notts then said: "I must report this to General Sederlinz. Only with his permission can I bring you close to our plane."

Weiss made a "speaking to the emperor" action.

Lieutenant Notts turned around and thought of something, and asked back, "Also, I wonder, if our aircraft has limited potential for improvement and redesigning one, how long will it take to go from design to mass production?"

"First, any weapon usually takes several months or even longer from design to mass production, and of course it is not absolute, but the more time is, the less mature and stable the design is. Second, I only promise to help you improve your existing equipment. It is impossible to redesign weapons - even if you press a gun on my head, this will never be compromised!"
